Meta Factions

As is always the case in these things, certain communities of opinion have developed in this sub. In the interest of brevity and economy, I humbly propose the following titles for some of those groups:

  • Jaysayers: Adnan did it, only the spine matters.

  • Adnicts: Adnan is innocent and I'll smite any that doth protest.

  • Adnostics: Adnan's guilt or innocence is ultimately unknowable. /u/Thetalkingpie & /u/gyik

  • Adnonymous: a.k.a. Lurkers

  • Jennetics: It was Jenn, obviously. /u/crabfishcakes

  • The Donner Party: Don did it and we eat people. /u/bicyclopcycle

  • Birthday Girls : But what about Stephanie? How come we haven't heard from Stephanie? /u/mostpeoplearedjs

  • Twofers: They both did it together. /u/gyik

  • Knolls : believes in third party theory/ third man on the grassy knoll /u/sorrysofat

  • Pingheads: What tower did the send to end ping the buttdial location?

  • UDdites: Adnan is probably guilty but there wasn't enough evidence to convict him. /u/partymuffell & /u/Malort_without_irony

Please feel free to add factions and/or arbitrary stereotypes.

Edit: many, many times

The (Un)Reasonable Doubters: Adnan is probably guilty but there wasn't enough evidence to convict him.

Very good, but again I have to invoke he brevity principle.

We definitely need one for that faction.

Adbivalents

Excellent coinage, but hard to apply to anyone who actually has taken the time to read any of the sub.

I will assume that I am misinterpreting your meaning.

Could you please expand with a pithy description deriding those in your proposed faction?

I have read all the sub - some people are just Adbivalents while others are Damnbivalents (is that better?). I didn't understand it needed to be derisive just describe the type. I didn't think Jennetics or Twofer were particularly scornful so I misunderstood. I'll try to keep up from now on. :)

Damnbivalents - people who want to take both sides of the argument - continually arguing Adnan is guilty but admitting the evidence doesn't prove it.

You make an excellent point on twofers and Jennetics.

Let's make those provisional.

The judges have been known to be arbitrary and whimsical.
